Sewers of Paris: I Didn't Have Anything to Lose (Ep 495 - daytime TV/Antony) (Patreon)

My guest on this week's Sewers of Paris has experienced reality TV as both a viewer and a participant. Growing up in Australia, Antony’s window to the world was watching American daytime talk shows like Oprah and Ricki Lake, where he’d occasionally catch an episode with queer guests. But it was after he moved to Hong Kong that he discovered a queer community that felt like home — and then when a friend invited him to appear on a dating show called Boyscation Too, he decided to try becoming one of those queer TV personalities he caught glimpses of in his youth.

And by the way, if you want to watch Antony’s dating show experience, all episodes are now streaming free on YouTube with English subtitles.
